RAR rocking chair by Charles Eames and Ray Eames for Vitra

The RAR rocking chair designed by Charles Eames and Ray Eames is probably one of those projects that many people recognise immediately, even without knowing its name. The reason is simple: few seats have managed to combine comfort, formal simplicity, and such a recognisable presence so well. The structure combines a polypropylene seat, a steel base, and wooden rockers, creating a balance between industrial materials and warmer surfaces that has made the Eames' projects so iconic. In this version, the blue seat adds a fresher and more playful touch while maintaining all the essential elegance of the original design. Although defined as a rocking chair, the RAR occupies space in a very different way compared to more traditional models. Its compact proportions, open structure, and visual lightness allow it to easily integrate into a living room, bedroom, or office, adding character without weighing down the environment. More than seventy years after its design, it continues to function for the same reason as back then: it is simple, comfortable, and extremely well-designed.
